Re: Pirates are Hot


"Oh, I like this one," Koa grinned, finding Blaine amusing and immediately growing interested in the other. Finally, someone a little more on his level. "Quite correct; another sea god took my immortality and my powers, saying I needed to learn a lesson, though providing no lesson to learn. I'm looking to rectify that, mortal existence is hell. No offense, Julian."

Michael nodded and watched as Aerun stayed near Victor, a little smile coming across his face at the implications it held. "I've learned a bit about his kind; not a lot, but it should be enough to get us started. I'm sure we've got a book, somewhere, too."

With that, he stepped up beside his brother, trying to ignore the way Emile kept trying to spook mortals with his snake eyes trick without laughing and make his own introduction. "Pardon my brother, he's dramatic. We are also here because of a recent addition to your crew is an immortal, brought back from death into a mortal body."

"Ah, yes, forgot about that," Blaine said with a shrug. "As for being cursed by a god, that's tricky business. What exactly happened leading up to those circumstances?" He asked.

"And who would that be?" Victor asked cautiously, though he had already figured who it would be.

"I was brewing up a storm to sink this ship, they claimed it under their protection. Obviously things did not go as I had planned, or we would not be standing here." Koa explained, still not really understanding why his ship-sinking hobby was bad.

"Your little red-head there. What's your name, again?" Michael gestured to Aerun, almost casually, though the revelation still startled the smaller man.

"On second thought maybe I have had too much to drink. My name is Aerun, and you have to be nuts," The soldier-turned-pirate answered, giving the newcomers a look that told them he thought them all crazy.

"Ahhh... Of course," Blaine said, shrugging. "Its simple. You either repent from your actions and find humanity something actually worth protecting, or at least some of it, or you're stuck in this mortal body until someone runs you through with a sword," he explained.

"Aerun," Victor said, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. "We're dealing with gods. I don't think its exactly beyond the realm of possibility. And... I can't say I'm exactly terribly surprised."

"Ah, well. If that is the case," Koa turned and headed the direction that Julien had gone in, not exactly satisfied with his answer but at least knowing a way out. "Julien! Come shoot me so I may be free of this meatsuit!"

"I thought you were one of the sane ones," Aerun turned his gaze to Victor, only getting more confused and nervous when Michael began to try and placate him. "This is ridiculous,"

"I know it's a lot. But just- keep calm and keep your voice down. We'll explain everything if you let us." Michael said in what he hoped was a sothing voice, looking to Mercia for help as he struggled.

"Before you start blowing your brains out," Blaine started, "you won't become a god just by dying. It doesn't work that way. You'll be dead permanently," he said. "You're not immortal in this body. You'll die just like a human."

Mercia stepped up close to Aerun with a warm smile, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "I know its a lot to take in. We all had to go through this, but I have ways to make the transition go easier."

Koa groaned and let his head fall back for a moment, eyes scrunched closed in displeasure. "Great. Excellent. So my only choice is to love humanity. I'm going to die of old age or disease before that happens!"

"Hey, I get it, I used to eat people," Emile stepped up beside Blaine, sliding their hands together as he addressed Koa. "Just find one thing! It could be a single person or a human creation, or just an idea,"

"Transition? What transition??" Aerun jerked away from Mercia, but didn't get very far, anxiety burning in his gut like a hot stone.

"There's nothing about humanity you like? No one?" Blaine asked, raising his eyebrows and glancing at Julian, who was talking with a couple members of his crew, all but ignoring them now.

"The transition from human to banshee. Your body as it is now can't withstand that type of power," Mercia explained gently.

Koa frowned and followed Blaine's gaze, his expression softening the tiniest bit when his eyes landed on Julian. "I will admit, Julian is...acceptable company, but I wouldn't say I care for him. I only care for the ocean and myself."

"Banshee!? No, absolutely not, Victor I need as much alcohol as you can give me. I'm drinking myself into a stupor because I've lost my mind," Aerun pulled away from Mercia and took a few steps to put space between him and everyone else, the burning ball that had been in his stomach now high in his throat.

"Selfish gods usually fall hard, Koa," Blaine warned. "If you can't change that way of thinking, you might be mortal for the rest of your life, however long that may be."

Victor gave Mercia and Michael an apologetic look as he placed a hand on Aerun's back. "I can get some of Julian's rum. Its a bit stronger than the stuff I have," he said, leading the soldier down below the deck again.
